Acharya Prashant responds to a question about maintaining the tranquil state experienced in a session. He explains that this state was demonstrated to trouble the questioner. The experience in a session is merely a taste or a glimpse, not something that can be made permanent, because life is not a session. A session has a beginning and an end, so the glimpse of peace it offers cannot be eternal. The purpose of the session is to demonstrate something, to provide an experience that ends the internal argument that peace or tranquility is impossible. The speaker elaborates that we live in a self-created world where our constant experience is a limited range of more or less noise and tension. We label high tension as sorrow and a reduction in that tension as happiness. Our consciousness oscillates within this very small, confined range. Over years, we come to believe this limited range is all that exists. Even when scriptures speak of infinite bliss, our minds interpret it within the upper boundary of our known experiences. Similarly, we are not truly afraid of hellish suffering because we feel we already endure it daily within the lower boundary of our experience. The purpose of the session, he states, is to shatter the belief in these self-imposed limits. His role is to provide a few moments of peace and clarity that are not found in daily life. He acknowledges that these moments are fleeting and intends for them to pass. Just as one experienced a state above the usual upper limit (peace), he wants them to experience a state below the usual lower limit (restlessness) after the session. This is because once you have seen or experienced something, you cannot un-see or un-know it. Now, if someone claims that peace or clarity is impossible, you will not be able to believe them because you have had a glimpse. This new knowledge should create a restlessness within you, which will become the energy for your progress. Things that seemed normal should now appear abnormal. The environment where you previously felt at ease should now cause great restlessness. Only then will you rebel and change your life. He concludes by saying that the greatest cruelty to him would be to return to the same old life after the session.
